I have set myself a challenge to blog every day this month! I’ll be away for a weekend later on in the month so I guess I should say “every day I’m home”! My internet has been shaped until 10/11 so posts may be a bit short this week, it has already taken nearly 5 minutes just to reset my password and load the site!
Tidying up is dangerous to your health, I finally have proof! I was scooping up some paper one of the girls had taken onto the verandah and drove a splinter one third of the way under my thumbnail. Boy oh boy did it hurt! Kim managed to pull out one bit, at first we thought he’d snapped it off but it turned out to be two separate pieces! I took over for the other bit and putting my squeamish tendencies aside, pulled the damn thing out. Ugh! Now hoping it doesn’t get infected. And that my squash opponent has to forfeit tomorrow!
Speaking of my squeamish tendencies, I am terrible with wobbly teeth. Hannah has taken to referring to them as WT, in an effort to prevent me from shuddering when she talks about them. It doesn’t help LOL! Of course, the most recent WT became dislodged at an awkward and painful angle while we were at the park eating lunch on Saturday, sans Daddy (aka the person who manages WT removal). She cried for about twenty minutes before allowing me to grab hold of it and pull it out (excuse me while I shudder violently for a moment). As always, there was a brief moment of stunned silence, before she announced that it hadn’t hurt at all, before she began eating again, suggesting I put the tooth in my purse so it wouldn’t get lost.
Time to shop, pack for Town Day tomorrow, plan meals for the week, put the shopping and errand lists in my iPod, and celebrate having all the items, bar one, crossed off my to-do list for today. Not a regular achievement lately!
